Question

A high school club is researching a tour package offered by the Kayak company. The company charges $35 per person and $245 for the tour guide which function represents the total cost, c(x) of this kayak tour package for the x club members?

Answer 1

For every person, the company charges $35. Therefore, the cost for x people can be written as 35x.

The company charges another $245 for the tour guide to the additional cost.

We have the final function :
C(x) = 35x + 245.

Answer 2

We are given that a tour company charges $35 per person. If the number of persons is "x", then the product of the price per person by the number of people is the cost to pay for the number of people. To this cost we must add the cost of the tour guide, therefore, a function that models the total cost is:

`C(x)=35x+245`
